I haven't yet. I am going to be picking up a set of front control arm bushing soon, so i'll be able to review them when I get them from Cody.

 

I have the bushings front and rear in-hand, but have not installed them yet.

I will definitely post once they are in.

 

so how did this go?

i didnt see anything when i searched the tc stuff about the bushings.

what do they do? help improve handling at all>> or are they just replacements

 

This forum is for the xB1. The links I posted are for those bushings. These greatly increase rigidity and handling.

 

They also do a much better job of pivoting as the design is two piece vs the one piece vulcanized rubber units that rely on the bonded rubber to twist. The increased stiffness of the bushing limits the deflection under high loads and improves handling and gives better feedback to the driver. They do increase the harshness of the ride as they will transfer more vibrations into the cabin. Make sure you use the lube that ES supplies as urethane can really be very squeaky.
